Your neighbourhood manager will begin a thorough investigation

We take all complaints seriously and your neighbourhood manager will begin a thorough investigation. Your neighbourhood manager will contact you within two working days and will work with you and other organisations to tackle the issue.

If the incident is of a serious, threatening nature that could lead to violence or the use of a weapon, or is a hate crime, we will arrange to see you within 24 hours. Remember to also contact the Police as well.

What does an investigation involve?

Your neighbourhood manager will carry out interviews and gather evidence from you, your neighbours, any witnesses, as well as other
relevant agencies, such as the police and environmental health.
We may ask you as part of this process to complete diary sheets and to download our noise app to aid the investigation.

How will we help to resolve the problem?

We will agree on an action plan with you about what we intend to do and
anything that we need you to do. We have developed a range of responses that are both effective and fair.

What can I do if I'm unhappy with the response to my ASB complaint?

If you feel that our response to your complaint about antisocial behaviour has been inadequate, you can seek an independent review of your case by requesting a 'community trigger review'.
